This article is based on the assumption that you are very familiar with the File Manager. But if you are not, no worries. Below are some helpful articles for you:

• How to log into your cPanel account
• How to access the file manager
• Navigating the file manager

Once you have gone through them, you will have no issues finding your way around things. Now, let’s discuss a few operations that can be done on the file manager.

Creating a new file/folder.

Once you have accessed the file manager,

• Locate the New File/New Folder icon in the task bar.
  
• A dialogue box will pop up where you are expected to provide the name of the file or folder being created.Note that in the dialog box that pops up when creating a new file, you have to fill in the extension for which the file is to be created.
• Click on Create New File/Create New Folder and there, you have your new file/folder.

Copying/Moving a file

• To copy a file or more into a folder, click on the file(s) to be copied and the click on the Copy icon in the task bar.
• A dialogue box will also pop up here. Fill in the name of the folder you want to copy it to. Note that a file can not be copied into its original location.
• To move a folder, also select the files to be moved. Click on Move File icon this time. Fill in the name of the folder to be moved into.
• 

• Moving and Copying of files/folders are quite different as opposed to what some people think. Copying makes copies of the file/folder and keeps them in the new location and still remain in the original directory. Moving removes the file/folder and places them in another location entirely.

Deleting a file/folder

• Click on the file/folder you want to delete.
• Click on Delete icon in the task bar.

• Confirm your action by clicking on the Delete File(s) button on the dialogue button that appears and the file/folder will be removed.

Uploading a file/folder

• Navigate to the folder to which you want to upload files.
• Click on the Upload icon in the task bar.
• Then click on Choose file/Browse as shown in your browser.
• On your computer, double click the file you want to upload.
• Your file will then load automatically. Repeat the same steps for addition of more files.
